Breakdancing Strength Drills

Video Transcript

Hey! How you doing? This is Jonathan Escotto, also known as B-boy Xcel, on behalf of Expert Village, and today we're showing breaking tips. Alright, now we're going to talk a little bit about drills to build up strength; strengthening drills. The first drill I'm going to show you is basically a baby freeze to a handstand, back to a baby freeze. I'm going to demonstrate what it looks like. Start off at a baby freeze, here, push up to a handstand, back to a baby freeze. That's a really, really great drill to strengthen not only your freezes and your handstands, but it builds up your upper body and helps with your power moves, your foot works, your flips, your freezes. Pretty much everything overall. When you get a little bit more advanced, you can actually try the same thing. Baby freeze, push out the handstand, do one rotation, and come back to a handstand if you want to get a little more technical with it. What I would personally do is make a drill of it. Let's say you do 3 or 4 repetitions at once, so basically we would go baby freeze, handstand, baby freeze, handstand. Make sets of it, so this is what it looks like. Another good drill to build up your upper body strength would be planches. A planche is basically a handstand with your body at a horizontal angle. I'm going to do what we call an elbow planche just to give you an example of what I mean. This is what it looks like. Start off from here, come on your elbows and you're just going to hold it. That again, helps build up your upper body. You can do one of those from a baby freeze as well. Another drill you can do. Baby freeze, elbow planche. That is a basic strengthening drill to get your upper body up to par.
